First Quarter FY 14-15
Northside Spraypark construction has been awarded. Grant announcement was made in December for Historic LPISD Colored School. Final design for has been awarded for the School rebuild.

Second Quarter FY 14-15
Northside Spraypark construction contract has been let and is now commencing construction. The Historic LPISD Colored School Kickoff meeting has been postponed by Harris County Community Service, but will be rescheduled soon. We were denied an additional grant for the National Trust Preservation fund, but this should not impact our ability to get the project listed in the National Trust. Interviews with attendees of the school were recently conducted to gain as much testimony/documentation as possible. The forensics condition assessment should start in about one month.
